This room has plenty of potential and you could really get creative with adding your own personal touch. There is a modern feature fireplace perfect for the colder months, creating a cosy setting.

The country style kitchen has plenty of storage units and worktops and includes integrated appliances that include a washing machine, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, a double oven and a gas hob with extractor hood above. There is a side door which also leads you out to the rear garden and the window overlooks this for a private view. Upstairs you will find three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and the modern family bathroom. The double bedrooms are a great size with space for bedroom furniture. The single bedroom comfortably fits a single bed but would also be perfect for a study or a work from home office, giving you options to be creative with this space. The modern family bathroom is fitted with a fresh white suite including a shower over the bath. This gives you the luxury of a relaxing soak for winding down in the evenings or a refreshing shower for when that extra burst of energy is needed. This spacious detached home has gas central heating, double glazed windows throughout and is offered for sale with no onward chain.

There is a well maintained lawn which would be perfect for a children's play area, hosting family BBQ's or simply to make into your own relaxing haven. If you are a keen gardener there are plenty of flower beds surrounding the boundary for planting your favourite shrubs or flowers. The garage can also be accessed via the rear garden making it perfect for a convenient storage space.


Location: Harkness Drive is a quiet residential road in Canterbury. The City of Canterbury, with its world-famous cathedral (a UNESCO world heritage site) has a pleasantly unexpected cosmopolitan feel to it. The city lies on the River Stour and boasts two universities plus several other higher education institutions and colleges which contributes to the city having the highest student to permanent resident ratio in the UK. However, Canterbury remains a small city in terms of geographical size and population when compared with other British cities. A popular tourist destination, historical Canterbury is consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, with the city’s economy heavily reliant upon tourism. The city is home to many ancient structures including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King’s School. Modern additions include the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club and the Marlowe Theatre, named after the city’s famous son Christopher Marlowe, has been built on the river bank.
